Infant Room

I am Marta Saenz.  I have worked with young children of different ages for the past twenty-two years.  My professional goal is to make a difference in these little ones lives and help prepare them for life's challenges.  I have an Early Childhood Certification from Austin Community College.  I also teach Spanish in an after school program at Baranoff Elementary.  I am very happy to be a part of the Child's Way Staff, where I found a wonderful group of loving, caring and devoted teachers. 

I am originally from Bolivia, South America.  I have been in the United States for the past thirty-two years.  I have four grown children:  Bert, Carlos, Jessica (Carlos' wife) and Marta.  This summer we will have a new addition to the family.  Carlos and Jessica will have their first baby and I am very excited about becoming a grandmother. 

Angela Melito
My name is Angela Melito I am very excited to work with Marta again as her Assistant.  I started subbing here at Child's Way in  September 2010 and then started in the Infant Room this past March.  I love working with the babies and it is incredibly rewarding to see them grow and change .  Both of my children attended Child's Way.  My son Anthony will be in the 3rd grade at Oak Hill Elementary and Gianna just graduated this past May from Pre-K program.  She will be starting Kindergarten at Oak Hill Elementary.  I feel that Child's Way and the entire staff has truly prepared them for Elementary School.  I feel that being a mom is the most important job in the world.  I bring this life experience to the classroom everyday.  I feel very blessed to be a part of this amazing staff who is truly devoted to caring for each and every child as if they were their own.  

I have an Associates Degree in Applied Science from Austin Community College and I am a former Massage Therapist.  I have training in Infant Massage as well.  I am originally from Michigan but have lived in Austin most of my life.  I have also lived in Germany and Seattle.  My husband Phil and I have been married for 15 years.  We volunteer at our church as much as we can, enjoy concerts, movies and getting outdoors.  I love pilates and yoga.  We also have 2 cats, Bella and Honey.
